Exotek JRX-S Type R LiPo top plate

In news that is really only of interest to our friend Lucas Urbain from France, Exotek Racing have released this LiPo top plate for the Losi JRX-S Type R. Made from 2.3mm carbon fibre, it is designed to enhance rubber tire performance by generating similar chassis flex traits of the current generation of sedans giving slightly more flex, but not too much. It also allows the use of bullet connector type batteries. The set includes self threading battery plate screw down tabs to eliminate the need for the stock alloy versions.
